The arabic font is too small to read

Question

the arabic font is too small to read. i have to strain my eyes to read it in the current state.
I can zoom the brower to read it but zooming everytime is not a point.

In the normal state the font looks like this

Zoomimg it upto 190 to 200 % makes it clear.

Doing that everytime is not feasable.
Suggest a solution for this.

Answer 1

In Question and Answer, we can have them to a more legible format by applying some styling on the fonts as below; which is the one that looks good?

1. ستاق اكثجىنج (Default size, hard to read)

2. ستاق اكثجىنج (Same size, bold but readable?)

3. ستاق اكثجىنج (Same size, italic and readable comparitively)

4. ستاق اكثجىنج (Header #1, much readable!)

5. ستاق اكثجىنج (Header #2, not bad)

6. ستاق اكثجىنج (Header #3, seems like pt. 2)

We might need to encourage users to make their arabic more readable by applying the styling (and so, mention about this in the FAQ or something?) or perhaps some automatic process could be introduced..

Maybe we can just use some other fonts?

I've also noted that in the chat room, arabic is extremely hard to read because of its restricted size. Maybe we can tell everyone to apply the above styles since markdown is supported in chat?

Answer 2

It seems as if TeX support was added to Math.SE only 9 days after it's launch (including private beta). Therefore, I think we could get the SE team to fix this problem up for us.

Regarding implementation, it'd be great if the software detected Arabic characters (Unicode >0xFF, and all that); otherwise, we could adopt markup similar to:

$$[insert Arabic text]$$

Also, consider that font size of Arabic text is dependent on what fonts you have installed on your system.
